Depending on the type of equipment (canister, backpack, wide-area sweeper, etc.), follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for hard floor vacuuming. Typically, a canister or backpack vacuum cleaner equipped with a suction-only hard floor brush-tool may be used to remove dry dust and dirt from floors. In some cases, this method cleans more thoroughly than dust mopping, while removing more fine dust from the surface and debris from cracks and crevices.

Action Items
- Ensure dusters and dust mops are selected based on their ability to capture and remove dust and are treated with a non-toxic water-based dust-removal treatment as warranted to capture dust.
- Use vacuums with high-efficiency bags/filters.
- Use lint-free wipes, microfiber cloths or tools, and/or properly filtered and sealed vacuums instead of feather dusters.
